Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said last year that Kim “has watched, I think, what has happened around the world relative to nations that possess nuclear capabilities and the leverage they have and seen that having the nuclear card in your pocket results in a lot of deterrence capability.”

“The lessons that we learned out of Libya giving up its nukes,” he added, “is, unfortunately: If you had nukes, never give them up. If you don’t have them, get them.”

And Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), the retiring chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has regularly referred to the lessons Kim learned from Libya: “He views having deliverable nuclear weapons as his ticket to dying as an old man in his bed. He saw what happened with Gadhafi. Gadhafi’s a dead man now because he gave up his nuclear weapons,” he told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos last week.
